CombustionHelper

The goal of this addon is to allow easy optimizing of the mage talent Combustion. It tracks all relevant Dots on your target, your cooldown of Combustion so you'll be able to use the talent with maximum effectiveness.

To summarize the new talent : it will add a new Dot on effect on your target which will be equal to the sum of Ignite and Pyroblast Dots.

With this addon, you'll know if one of your Dot is missing.

CombustionHelper is composed of the main addon and 2 bundled other addons : CauterizeCooldown and MageBombTracker. Here is their main features :

CombustionHelper main addon:

Automatic switch depending if combustion is in your spellbook or not.

Autohide out of combat is off by default, use config panel to configure it. You can choose between no autohide, autohide out of combat or autohide when combustion is on cd.

Reset variables option because i know some of you like to bug the thing by switching options while in combat/autohide is running and stuff. If you bug it, just reset and log off so you start with a clean state.

Option to hide all config messages in chat.

Dot tick damage report mode. This is not the expected combustion damage report because of the complexity of ignite, rather an information about how much damage the last tick did so you know if it's powerful enough.

Pyroblast/Hot Streak report mode which will warn you when wasted an Hot Streak proc will letting it be refreshed before getting used and at end of combat will report with number of Pyro casted with number and percentage and Hot Streak gained.

You can change the scale, alpha and Frame level. Also enabled by default a timer like OmniCC/CooldownCount. You can choose to autohide the addon when your cauterize is off cooldown. It will autohide too for classes other than mage. Also feature a customizable warning message which can be outputted to vicinity, party, raid or yell channel. There is also another optional warning when Ice Block is up. You can set whatever SharedMedia sound you want as an alert.

MageBombTracker :

This addon track all the new mage bombs and flamestrike cooldown which will be available in patch 5.0.4 and MoP. Previously bundled with CombustionHelper, it's now available as a stand alone addon. It show them with a list which feature :

current target marker

target name

raid marker

time remaining

Other nice features are :

Alert when missing a bomb

Alert when overwriting a bomb

End of fight report

Fully customisable and lightweight, all you need to monitor your bombs !
Available in English and French for now, submit your translation for more.

------------------------------------------

Changes from 2.xx versions ?

No more crit debuff tracking, it's gone for mages.

No more support for FrostFire Bolt, useless for Combustion and i doubt anyone used it.

No more Impact support, new inferno blast replaced aura procs.

Use Interface Panel -> Addons for full config or /combustionhelper for bringing up directly the option panel.
As always, report me bugs and requests.

Donation is totally optional but all funds will be used to buy chocolate for my wife so she'll be a bit less mad at me spending so much time coding.

However I think there's a bit of a bug. I like how you've programmed in all the checks and so on for Combustion itself, FFB glyph and so on (though I remove all the chatlog messages), but there's a bit that doesn't seem to work right:

If I log in with frost spec (no FFB glyph and the addon hides itself),
THEN switch to fire spec, (FFB glyph on here, addon unhides)
It doesn't detect the Frostfirebolt Glyph and show with FFB mode on.
It displays Impact mode and everything else I like to have on, but not FFB mode, I keep having to switch that on manually.

I've tried putting the Combuffbglyphcheck () in the if (event == "PLAYER_TALENT_UPDATE") section, but it doesn't always work.

Instead I copied the parts of the FFB Check section on login, and the command to force it on and put it in the player talent update section, this now works. Bad practice to do it this way though so it could do with a tidy / sorting properly. I'm not used to LUA and I can't be arsed normally.

Works fine with that, displays itself with FFB mode on, after logging in as frost, THEN switching to fire, like I said it just needs sorting properly and a good tidy, I also haven't tested switching to fire but without the glyph and so on. Loving the addon though, seems fine in every other way, very useful!

Edit: Why does Crit mass display as a bar with barmode off?

OK i see what went wrong it was missing the function CombustionFrameresize to start with player talent update, fixed now (2.6.1)
For the critical mass tracker not affected by bar mode, it's a design choice. with all the other timer, the empty space in nobar mode is litlle enough to not be too hard to be read but for the critical tracker i found it disturbing, hence the bar always showing. Does it bother you that much ?

Not really, was just wondering thats all, and yeah I get ya with the gap. Not worth a rework.

Nice one on fixing the issue. No other problems with it.

Would still like to be able to set the position at some point (like I said I'm fine with coding that in since its just for quick switching personal use), but I'm not sure how to do that through the addon code. I know some mods can "reset" position but that may be different.

Any idea if its possible and how to get/set the window position properties through the addon code? If its a major mess about due to Blizzard handling the values, I'm fine with just moving it around manually.

Hello, and thanks for delevoping this awesome addon! Been using it in cataclysm beta and it's working very well. I do however miss some indication of how many targets living bomb is currently on, is it possible to add an option for tracking living bomb on several targets (like the one in magenuggets), maybe even with the bars and everything?
